RESTON, Va.--March 14, 2006--ENIRA Technologies, the intelligent network solutions company, is confronting the growing problem of insider threats in its automated network response solution, NRS 4.0. This system is the first to rapidly and automatically quarantine users - whether malicious or careless - limiting network damage and loss of sensitive information.

Intentional insider abuse and increasingly common user errors are serious problems to a company's infrastructure and bottom line. Former or disgruntled staff commits up to 70 percent of security breaches, according to risk-management company Diligence LLC, yet the majority of security spending is on external risks. A separate study by the Computer Security Institute and FBI reveals that 56 percent of U.S. companies reported inside incidents in 2005.

"Too often, corporate networks are a free-for-all for the employees; access may be restricted by device, but trusted users can enter through another system," said Axel Tillmann, vice president of ENIRA Technologies. "Terminated workers, employed saboteurs, and everyday users who break network policy necessitate proactive response - not only after-the-fact reporting."

ENIRA's NRS 4.0 lets administrators redefine network settings with a mouse click, based on their custom configurations. The solution can change permission for a single user - or an entire group of users - based on overall threat level, anomalous activity, or other variables such as location or device. Users can be shut out entirely or have limited access to applications or information, based on IT managers' policies.

All actions are automatically logged and reported for compliance requirements. NRS 4.0 integrates with other security technologies to be a full network response solution, identifying and quarantining infected nodes on a network in real time.

Pricing is based on the number of nodes managed and begins at $45,000 for 2,500 nodes. For more information, please visit www.enira.com .
